J· K. Rowling said in an interview: "When a world has been with you for seventeen years, you will find it difficult for you to leave it. ”
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is built in a huge story background, which comes from the Harry Potter series that has accompanied us for seventeen years, and always has a tearful Easter egg that will appear when it is inadvertent. I can feel rowling's words: "Every minute and every second after the end, the world has always existed in my mind." ”
-Friend，are you a seeker ? A seek of the truth?
-Actually,I am more of a chaser.
At the beginning of the film, Newt arrives in New York with a suitcase, and when we open the suitcase, we can see a Huffpaff's college scarf in the trunk, verifying that he is a student of Hogwarts Huffpaf Academy.
As Newt was drawn to the attention of the people of Salem Ii at the bank gate, the leader of the cult that promoted the Doctrine of Salem (who had read it twice without remembering the mother's name) asked him, "Friend, are you a seeker?" A seeker of truth?”
纽特回答：“Who the hell is your friend?”
纽特回答：“Actually,I am more of a chaser.”
The film translates "Seeker" and "Chaser" as "Seeker" and "Follower," respectively, but these two words have another meaning in the Harry Potter series.
Seeker is a seeker in Quidditch matches, with only one seeker per Quidditch team. Harry's father, Jaime, Harry himself, Drake Malfoy, and Cedric Diggory were all former seekers at hogwarts houses. At the beginning of the game, the seeker is free to shuttle around the game field, looking for a very fast flying ball: the golden snitch. When the Seeker finds the Golden Snitch, the Seeker's team scores one hundred and fifty points and declares the game over.
Since playing Harry Potter in school, he has received the grace of a golden squid... The golden snitch that Harry found during the first-year Quidditch tournament was also returned to him in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as a relic left to him by Dumbledore. There was also a line of Dumbledore's handwritten writing: I will open it at the end. When Harry kissed the Golden Snitch before going head-to-head with Voldemort, he found the Resurrection Stone hidden inside.
Chaser, on the other hand, is a chaser in a Quidditch game, responsible for throwing the red ghost fly ball into the opponent's goal frame, similar to the presence of a big forward. If, according to Newt, he's more of a "Chaser," he could be a seeker at Huffpaff College. Wait, I'm going to write a ranting letter to the director, come, and read along with my lipsticks:
-Anglo-American Ministry of Magic Contrast-
In Fantastic Beasts, Newt is taken to the U.S. Ministry of Magic in New York, where owls flying around delivering messages are mentioned in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Due to the patron saint spell cast in front of his cousin Dalí, Harry was summoned for interrogation by the Ministry of Magic, who was looking for trouble, and while riding the elevator with Mr. Weasley, several paper planes flew into the elevator, and Mr. Weasley explained: "It was a note to pass messages between departments, and it used to be an owl, but the dirty mess was unbelievable. (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7, Ministry of Magic)
Newt's story takes place in the United States in the 1920s, when everyone may have been using owls to deliver messages. In the Wand Registry where Tina registers Newt, we can also see rat-like origami passing messages through pipes.
Following Newt's line of sight, we can also see the Ministry of Magic's clock, which is similar to the Weasleys' clock, and at the end of the film, due to the silent exposure, the hands of the clock point to the red "emergency" area.
The Weasleys' clocks have a label of each person's status
In the second harry potter and the chamber, it is mentioned that the wall clock has words such as "make tea, feed the chickens, you are going to be late" (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, chapter 3, "The Burrow")
In the fourth harry potter and the Goblet of Fire, there is also a mention of a grandfather clock, but the words marked above have changed, or this is another old clock:
If you want to know time, it doesn't work at all, but it can provide you with many other situations. It has nine golden needles, each inscribed with the name of a man from the Weasleys. There are no numbers on the clock, but it says where each family member will be. There are "home", "school" and "work", there are also "on the road", "missing", "hospital", "prison", at twelve o'clock on the ordinary clock, marked "life is dangerous".
In the fifth harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Mrs. Weasley always carries the big clock with her: "Right now, those nine needles are pointing to mortal danger." According to Mrs. Weasley, the clock has been in this state ever since Voldemort's comeback.
In the Ministry of Magic in New York, we also saw house-elves who cleaned the wands, as well as the Wand Registry where Tina worked. In Harry Potter's fifth Book, The Order of the Phoenix, when non-Ministry of Magic staff enter the Ministry of Magic, a wand registration is required:
Harry handed over his wand. The wizard threw it on a strange brass machine that looked like a single-disc balance. Both began to vibrate slightly. A narrow strip of parchment spat out rapidly from an opening at the bottom. The wizard ripped the paper off and read the words on it.
"Eleven inches, the core of the staff is a phoenix feather, and it took four years. Is that right? ”
The place where Newt and Tina were interrogated was very much like the interrogation room where Harry Potter was interrogated. In Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore, who appears as Harry's witness, comments on the court that tried Harry:
"Yeah, I've only been asked out of Wiesengamo for a few short weeks, and a trivial matter of minors using magic is now being tried in a formal criminal court."
Indeed, it is true that the Tenth Judgment Chamber of Wizengamot was once used to interrogate Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters.
The Tenth Courtroom of the Ministry of Magic where Harry Potter was tried
Harry fell into Dumbledore's meditation basin
See the memories of Dumbledore's participation in the interrogation of the Death Eaters
The court where Newt Scamander was tried
In Fantastic Beasts, we can see a huge portrait of Chairman Piquini hanging from the U.S. Department of Magic.
In the Order of the Phoenix film, we can also see a huge portrait of Cornelius Fudge hanging from the British Ministry of Magic.
What follows is a very sad topic. In Fantastic Beasts, Newt and Tina are executed and taken to the death chamber by two witches who look like they have run from Yang Yongxin, which consists of a huge pool and an electric chair chair, on which Tina is seduced by good memories and is served by I AM NOT GROOT at a crucial time. Rescued, he awakens Tina and saves Tina with the Winged Demon.
There is also a death room in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, located in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, which is described as follows:
This one was larger than the one just now, dimly lit, square in shape, and concave in the center, forming a huge stone pit, about twenty feet deep. Stone steps surrounded the room like stone benches, descending one step at a time, each steep, like a lecture hall or an interrogation room where Harry had been interrogated by Wiesengamo, and where they stood on the highest steps. But instead of a chair with chains in the center of the pit, there was a raised stone platform with an arch on top of it, which looked so old and tattered that Harry wondered how it could stand there without falling. There was no wall around the arch, a tattered black curtain or drapery hanging from it, and though the air was cold and there was no wind, it was swinging gently, as if it had just been touched.
Arches and draperies in the fifth film
In later fighting, Sirius Black is struck by a spell from his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange and falls into the arch:
Harry saw that the emaciated, once handsome face of his godfather was both frightened and surprised when he fell, and he fell into the ancient arch and disappeared behind the drapery. The drapery fluttered for a moment, as if it had just blown through a fierce wind, and then returned to its former form.
In the fifth film, Sirius is hit by Bella and falls into the arch curtain
Sirius Black, who Rowling arranges for him to end up dying in the execution chamber, makes the scene cruel and ridiculous, like an Oedipus tragedy. He tried his best to escape his family, only to die under his cousin's wand. He tried with all his might to escape his fate, escaped the kiss of the Dementor, escaped the unjust trial, but in the end did not escape the judgment of fate.
Later, Harry went to Gryffindor's ghost, the nearly headless Nick, with the last hope, and asked Sirius if it was possible for him to return as a ghost. Nick says he was able to come back because he was afraid of death, and tells Harry, "He's not coming back." Nick repeated, "He will... Go down. ”
As Newt and Tina are taken to the death chamber, Tina weeps in fear, and the executioner "comforts" her: "Don't worry, it won't hurt." ”
As Harry Potter walked alone to the Forbidden Forest to find Voldemort, he turned Dumbledore's last gift to him, the Resurrection Stone, and returned to him one by one of his lost relatives and friends.
Harry asked his mother, Lily, "Why are you all here?"
Lily said, "We never left. ”
When he looked at Sirius, he asked Sirius, "Does death hurt?" ”
Sirius comforted him, "Faster than you can feel it coming." ”
To Sirius, the most loyal friend.
-Curse Chaos Stew-
In Fantastic Beasts, most of the spells are familiar, such as flying spells, phantom transfiguration, Araho hole opening, all petrified, and so on.
I don't know if any of my ice and snow smart and delicate friends have found out that Newt has cast a confusion spell.
The Confusion Charm appeared twice in the Harry Potter series, the first time in the sixth Half-Blood Prince, where Hermione cast the Confusion Spell on Ron's rival McClagan in order to help Ron pass the Gryffindor Quidditch goalkeeper selection.
The second time, in the seventh Deathly Hallows, the trio, in order to infiltrate Gringotts, disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange, cast a confusion spell on Gringotts' guards and a goblin.
Harry cast a confusion spell on the goblin in charge of bella's vault key in Gringotts
In "Fantastic Beasts", when newt and Jacob's box is mistaken, causing the magical beasts to flee, causing the floor where Jacob lives to collapse, Newt casts a confusion spell on a Muggle who tries to confirm to the police that it is not a gas explosion, but caused by the destruction of the "monster", causing him to change his mouth to say that it must be a gas explosion.
The best spell is Newt's Infinite Stretch Spell on the suitcase, which gives his suitcase unlimited space for magical beasts. The Infinite Stretch Charm appeared in the Harry Potter series, and in the fourth Goblet of Fire, the tent where Harry and the others lived was cast with the Infinity Stretch Spell:
Harry bent down and slipped under the curtain of the tent, his jaw dropping in surprise. He walked into an old-fashioned three-bedroom apartment, as well as a bathroom and kitchen.
The tent where you lived during the Quidditch World Cup
In the seventh Deathly Hallows, in order to plan the trio's escape, Hermione uses the Infinity Stretch Spell on one of her small bags, moving in almost all of her books, a change of clothes for the three of them, emergency medicines, and a blank picture at 12 Grimmauld Square.
Newt's chest in Fantastic Beasts is beautifully arranged, with a natural environment suitable for every magical animal. In fact, this magical magic is also described in the fifth part of Harry Potter. Professor Trelawney, who teaches the divination class, is unable to teach because of Umbridge's intervention, and Dumbledore asks ferenze, a horseman with foreknowledge, to teach the divination class, and when everyone arrives at the classroom, they see this scene:
The floor of the classroom became a soft moss, and the trees grew out from underneath it; their branches were covered with lush leaves, fanning across the ceiling and windows, so that bundles of soft, mottled green light slanted throughout the room.
At the end of Fantastic Beasts, Newt casts the "Primordial Appearance" spell on Grindelwald, revealing Johnny Depp's face... Seriously, Uncle Pu, if you must continue like this, I can only poke myself blind and love you again.
In the Harry Potter series, the spell "Prototype Appears" is only useful for the person who casts the Transfiguration Spell, for example, in Prisoner of Azkaban, Lupin casts the Prototype Appearance Spell on Pettigrew Pete (Wormtail), turning him from a mouse into a true murderer who betrayed James and Lily. In The Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore does not use this spell on Barty Crouch Jr., who has taken the compound decoction and transformed into a mad-eyed Moody, and this spell may not have an effect on the compound decoction. The Transfiguration Spell also does not change one person's appearance to another person's appearance. So what method did Grindelwald use to change his appearance?
The forgotten spell, mentioned repeatedly in Fantastic Beasts, is reminiscent of a sad plot. When she decided to flee with Harry Ron to destroy the Horcrux, Hermione cast the spell on her Muggle parents at home. Her appearance faded from the photos taken with her family, and her parents no longer had memories of her.
Hermione uses "Forget Nothing" on her family
There was also a magical spell that was the Dementor Mind, and Harry had spent a lot of energy practicing the magic of resisting the Dementor Mind. In Fantastic Beasts, the little fairy Queenie also has this advanced skill. But looking at the HP series, it is inevitable that a question arises.
When Professor Snape used the Regent on Harry, he used a wand. Voldemort read Harry's thoughts and did not use a wand due to the scar. But in "Fantastic Beasts", the little fairy Queenie did not use a wand, and she could easily read everyone's thoughts.
Bow to the little fairy power.
The little fairy also said that when a person's heart is hurt, it is easier to be read by thoughts.
Recall that in Order of the Phoenix, when Harry pursued Bella because of Sirius' death, he was easily invaded by Voldemort.
Harry, who had been invaded by Voldemort
-Magical Creatures-
In addition to Newt and others, the protagonists of "Fantastic Beasts" are a group of cute magical animals. The sniffer who first appeared was once the magical creature that Ron wanted the most.
In Newt's suitcase, there is a space filled with many blisters, one of which houses a Greenelo. Grindillo first appeared in the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban, where Professor Lupin taught everyone how to deal with Glindilo. Harry and Grindillo's first head-on battle appeared in the Goblet of Fire, and when he competed in the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry met a Greendillo:
Harry twisted and turned his body to see a Greenelo—a water monster with sharp horns on its head, protruding from the water weeds, long fingernails clinging to Harry's shoulders, and sharp tusks in his mouth.
In the Goblet of Fire movie, Harry is besieged by Grindillo
Grindillo in Fantastic Beasts
Of course, there are also eagle-headed horses with winged beasts that appear in the lyrics.
In Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry rides buckbeak, a winged beast on an eagle-headed horse, over Hogwarts
In Fantastic Beasts, after Newt is caught by Tina, he lies that he came to buy velvet because there is only one person in the world who has velvet, and this person is in England. But it's not hard to see from Harry Potter that the Weasleys' twin brothers, Fred and George, opened the Weasley Joke Shop, and this joke shop has a large number of miniature velvets, the pygmy puppy for sale, and because of its cute appearance, it has become Ginny's favorite little pet:
She pointed to a large pile of deep, shallow pink and purple fluffy balls that rolled around at the base of a cage, emitting a piercing scream.
"Dwarf puppy," george said, "miniature velvet." “
The Tree Protector also appeared in Harry Potter, where the professor taught students how to get along with the Tree Protector. At that time, the tree protection pot was already quite popular, and many students hoped to have a tree protection pot as a pet.
Newt and Jacob hunt down a poisonous horned beast as they hunt down the escaped monster at night at the zoo. When the horns of the Venomous Horned Beast touch other objects, they can change the object's properties and explode. In the seventh Deathly Hallows, Luna's father insists that he has found the horn of a horned snorer, but the others repeatedly explain to him that the horned snorer does not exist. It was later confirmed that it was the horn of the poisonous horned beast. While the Death Eaters go to Luna's house to hunt down Harry and the others, the Horned Beast's horn explodes, creating an opportunity for harry's trio to escape.
Newt once said that he had subdued a Ukrainian iron-bellied dragon, and in Deathly Hallows, harry and the dragon they liberated from Gringotts were ukrainian iron-bellied dragons. I wonder if there is any connection between the two?
Ukrainian iron belly in Deathly Hallows
There have been many who have argued that Dumbledore's sister was silent, and I won't say more about it here.
There is also a detail that is extremely frightening, I don't know if everyone has noticed.
Fantastic Beasts takes place in New York in the 1920s, and according to the plot, Dumbledore was already teaching Transfiguration at Hogwarts.
According to the Deathly Hallows, Grindelwald was a young man when he stole the Elder Wand from Grigovich.
Grindelwald who stole the Old Wand
So in "Fantastic Beasts", which happened in the big twist, is the wand used by Grindelwald already an old wand?
If it was the Old Wand, when Newt subdued Grindelwald with magical creatures, Grindelwald's wand was disarmed by Tina.
As for the attributes of the wand to confess the Lord, I believe that everyone is already very clear.
And Rowling said in the interview that the second part will appear magical creatures from China, and emphasizes that it is not dragons.
What the hell is it?
A thousand words come together in one sentence:
Come out of the second part
Rowling said in an interview that in this series of films, friendship is the most important main line.
Let's recall that when Harry first approached the Hall of Hogwarts, a selection of the song that the Sorting Hat sang:
You may belong to Hefpav,
The people there are honest and loyal.
Also, Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world.
